I thought I could configure the box, so that nslookup and host commands would resolve through /etc/hosts only.

This server has a private back end network so the way it is supposed to work is that the server thinks its ip address is 10.131.0.48 but the rest of the world knows it as 199.68.100.100 per DNS.

RESOLV.CONF(5) File Formats Manual RESOLV.CONF(5)
NAME
resolv.conf - Domain Name System resolver configuration
SYNOPSIS
/etc/resolv.conf
DESCRIPTION
The /etc/resolv.conf is used to configure how the host will use the Domain Name System to resolve hostnames to IP addresses. It may con-
tain these two lines:
nameserver IP-address
domain domain-name
The nameserver entry tells the IP address of the host to use for DNS queries. If it is set to 127.0.0.1 (which is the default) then the
local name daemon is used that may use the /etc/hosts database to translate host names. You normally only need a nameserver entry if the
name server is at the other side of a router. The default nonamed name server can't look beyond the local network.
The domain entry tells the default domain to use for unqualified hostnames. This entry is usually not given in which case the domain of
the local host is used.
The long version of this story can be found in resolver(5).
